Budolfi Cathedral

Getting around: In the heart of Aalborg's old town, a short walk from the main pedestrian street and easily reached on foot from anywhere downtown.
Hours: Generally open to visitors during daytime hours, though access may be limited during services and events. Free entry outside service times.

Budolfi Cathedral is Aalborg's cathedral church, a whitewashed Gothic building dating largely from the 14th and 15th centuries, though a church has stood on the site since the 11th. The interior is relatively plain by Danish cathedral standards, with a notable baroque altarpiece and a set of merchant-family epitaphs reflecting Aalborg's trading history.

It's a quick stop rather than a major draw — worth ducking into if you're already walking the old town, but not a destination to plan a trip around.
